Crystal has released a new set of renderings for its newest ship Crystal Grace set to debut on June 11, 2028. Following the recent unveiling of the ship’s suite categories, the renderings offer a first look at some of the most popular specialty dining venues, all designed by Tillberg Design of Sweden in collaboration with Crystal’s culinary partners. Umi Uma will feature a full-height glass wall with unobstructed ocean views, while Beefbar and Osteria d’Ovidio will include dedicated, covered outdoor dining areas that extend the restaurants beyond their interiors, with a shared bar connecting the two venues.
Umi Uma
The specialty restaurant created in partnership with chef Nobu Matsuhisa, will return aboard Crystal Grace. The menu will feature signature Japanese‑Peruvian fusion cuisine inspired by the traditions of the East and the style of Chef Nobu, including Nobu‑style Black Cod, grilled Chilean sea bass and a selection of sushi alongside other innovative dishes.

Located on Deck 5, the 84-seat restaurant has been planned with Chef Nobu. The venue will include a sushi bar available on a drop-in basis, while the main dining room will be available by reservation.
Osteria d’Ovidio
Continuing Crystal’s collaboration with three-Michelin-starred Italian chef Massimiliano Alajmo and restaurateur Raffaele Alajmo, Osteria d’Ovidio will also return aboard Crystal Grace.
Located on Deck 10, the restaurant will offer a relaxed setting inspired by contemporary Italian dining, with seating for 68 guests indoors and an additional 20 seats on an outdoor terrace. A defining feature of the venue is its large, covered open-air dining area. The menu celebrates the finest flavors of Italy across three sections—Italia, Le Calandre and Venezia—offering Italian classics, signature dishes from the Alajmo family’s Michelin-starred flagship and refined Venetian-inspired plates such as vitello tonnato, maccheroni alla carbonara, saffron risotto with licorice powder, smoked tuna carpaccio and pistachio gelato.
Beefbar
Beefbar returns aboard Crystal Grace as part of Crystal’s collaboration with restaurateur Riccardo Giraudi, showcasing the modern steakhouse concept. With locations in destinations including Monaco, Paris and Mykonos, Beefbar is known for its contemporary take on luxury dining. The restaurant will also feature Beefbar’s signature Beef Reef Leaf concept.
Located on Deck 10, adjacent to Osteria d’Ovidio, the venue was developed in collaboration with Giraudi. The restaurant will feature 56 seats indoors, complemented by an outdoor dining area with 58 seats set across a covered terrace.

“From the beginning, our vision for Crystal Grace was to build on the strength of our culinary partnerships while giving each venue a renewed sense of place and design. Working closely with our partners, Chef Nobu Matsuhisa, Chef Massimiliano Alajmo and Riccardo Giraudi, we’ve refreshed each restaurant with thoughtful design updates and the flexibility to introduce new menu elements over time. The result is a collection of dining experiences that feel both familiar and excitingly new for our guests. We’re especially excited about the beautiful outdoor dining spaces, which will allow guests to enjoy exceptional cuisine in the open air—something we know will become a favorite part of the experience at sea,” said Gunter Lorenz, Vice President of Food & Beverage Operations for Crystal.
